☠️ 毒性と過剰摂取のリスク
Licorice root is one of the most dangerous herbs when overconsumed. Glycyrrhizin causes the body to retain sodium and excrete potassium — doses exceeding 100mg glycyrrhizin/day (equivalent to ~50g licorice root) can cause severe hypokalemia, hypertension, edema, and cardiac arrhythmias. Cases of cardiac arrest from excessive licorice consumption have been documented. Long-term use (>6 weeks) even at moderate doses can cause pseudoaldosteronism. Use DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice) form for long-term use.
